4 Reasons to Attend Informatica World 2016

Last year, I had the privilege of running social media for Informatica World, as well as the joy of singing for hours at an impromptu closing night dance party.

This year, I’m honored to serve as a main stage emcee. To prepare, I’m watching extra episodes of the Tonight Show, The Voice and American Idol, to borrow tricks of the trade from Jimmy Fallon, Carson Daly and Ryan Seacrest. You never know, I may just smash an egg on my forehead!

Obviously, I’m looking forward to attending. I get to see team members from around the globe, to sing with friends and to have a blast as a host. But those are MY reasons. What we must discuss is this:

"Why should YOU go to Informatica 2016?"

With that in mind, here are four key reasons you will want to be at Informatica World 2016.
